A Prime Example Of Rad Parenting

The "adult section" is just another isle lol...

Where does GameStop in their mission statement declare they're a kid oriented business?

Edit: Also, Candlejack agrees with me. I may need to reconsider my stance.

And the consumer has a right to protest or abstain from shopping at a specific store. Tehy also can make others aware of why they don't want to.

It's up to the store at that point to decide whether it's worth it to carry that product or not anymore.

Consumers have that power over companies. It's neither unreasonable nor is it mindless.

This article has nothing to do with bad parenting though lol...

Edit: the government plays a rold in safety issues and well they do monitor what's sold or not as there are certain permits or licenses needed to be obtained to do any of that.

Explain how she is not able or willing to do that?

Was already considering one. But that's another issue entirely.

There's a difference between Toys R Us openly selling sex toys to a kid using something that is a stick inappropriately. The latter I agree is a parenting problem. The former would probably be considered socially inappropriate to a lot of people, unless maybe they have it in a hidden corner with staff monitoring who's going into that section.

To say it's bad parenting just because a mother is concerned about an environment where she feels has content that is not appropriate for kids and wishes to do something about it is overly harsh. Some feels there's a need to be like a CCTV and monitor their child's every move, some feels children should be in a safe enough environment to play around in a controlled area, without having the need to monitor their every move. I don't think neither are bad parenting. It's just different point of views. Plus saying the woman isn't prepared to keep an eye on her child just because she feels Toys R us is selling something inappropriate is a very big assumption.

That's not what she's trying to do at all.

Not only do you not even seem to understand what the "adult section" in the store is or how the store is set up but you haven't even seemed to have read the article well enough to understand what the woman was trying to do. This only had to do with the Walter White doll. She didn't even decry the show itself and even went as far to say that she enjoyed it herself but that she thought that a meth dealing doll had no place in a children's store and questioned the Toys R Us vision and values.

She doesn't, that's why it's a petition. She has an opinion and invited others who feels the same way to sign it. If a lot of people signs it, it means there are enough people to be concerned about the issue for business to consider this (and they very well should, as they are their potential customers). Last time i checked the article didn't say she held the CEO of Toys R Us at gun point to threaten the company to withdraw the product.

I'm sure you can also make a petition to stop Toys R Us to give in if you are so concerned about parents forcing the world to conform into their views.

Either way, I still don't think this has anything to do with bad parenting, unless you know something that we don't (e.g. her son is a drug dealer and she's blaming this on the toys he's been playing with)

The FCC has no jurisdiction over cable and satellite channel content. They are under no legal obligation to be family friendly at all.

No matter how Toys R Us may bill themselves they also are under no obligation to sell only to children. Their mission statement is hardly a legal document, and even if it were, selling a drug dealer action figure is only subjectively child unfriendly.

The sex toy thing is just a straw man and likely covered under local laws anyway. A figure of a drug dealer hardly constitutes pornography.

I think I'll start a petition for TRU to start selling ***, buttplugs and furry handcuffs... That'll make it more convenient for me when I go there to buy my limited edition TRU Transformers

And consumers are under no obligation to shop there.

Why do you think they publicize mission statements like that?

they sell handcuffs already... they only sell *** like objects and I'm sure you could shove one of those toys up your ***...

Amazing this thread made it past page 1.. coming up on page 4 is horrific.

TRU should sell Gundam model kits.

For a long time I had the mini Devastator that was a KB Toys exclusive. I've also had various incarnations of Soundwave, mostly because I'm enthralled with the cassettes and because *** Blaster. I really dug the round Generations versions despite not liking vehicle mode for Soundwave (or Blaster for that matter).

Yeah, no thanks, I said buttplug, not something like a buttplug.

Wrong.

Control is limited but not gone completely.
